I've been having this issue and its been happening to me on stock, CM10 and ktoons rom as well.
Just randomly when i want to wake my phone up using the home button, it does nothing, or the buttons for menu and back lit up but the screen is black.
Sometimes if i hold home long enough it will show the lock screen or if i use the power button its fine.
Ive just switched over to the S3 from an iPhone so im really used to pressing home to unlock the phone.
Anyone else having this issue? Ive searched around alot of people have lag issues but i haven't seen one like mine yet.

Ok i thought so, sorry for creating a topic on it. on stock it happened it to me a few times as well though.
i just wanted to make sure it wasn't faulty.
I used to be able to just hit the home button twice and it would work but lately it's just a black screen no matter how many times. Using tasks ROM. I'm getting used to using the power button

I've had the phone for two days now and this has happened 3 times now.
The worst one was I got a phone call but the keyboard was up and the back button wasn't there to get rid of it. So I couldn't answer the phone.
One time I couldn't exit the settings menu because the buttons disappeared.
To remedy I turn off the display, turn it back on and unlock to the camera. I think because the camera has the special hidden buttons it causes the phone to refresh the button display otherwise I couldn't find another way to do it.
Has this happened to others? I haven't seen threads about it.

I lost them once but got them back by turning the phone sideways and then back upright once the buttons reappeared.

Oh wow, yea, that would probably work too. But some apps lock to portrait (dialer).

Happened to me while I was playing a game (Reckless Gateway) and received a call at the same time. After the call, soft buttons wouldn't appear anymore, had to restart my phone
I have only lost the buttons when flashing a mod that was not compatible...in that situation I did not have the virtual buttons or the notification bar at all.
Never happened to me on stock or rom. What build/android is your phone? You can find info in settings>about phone

This has happened to me a couple times while using Google Nav. I just pulled down the notification bar and hit the settings button - that seemed to bring the buttons back. Strange issue.
Just a few kinks that need ironing out.. hopefully Google is aware of minor bugs like this already

Yep, exactly. Though I wouldn't call this minor because it made me miss a call.
Another thing I just noticed. Go into an app that has the menu virtual button (the three dots) then turn off the screen. Turn it back on and the menu button will be the only virtual button on the Lock Screen. You can press it and automatically unlock the phone. I'm using slide to unlock and the news and weather app to do this every time.
Edit: Just tried with a different lock (pattern) and the menu button will not unlock. But it is still there and you can press it. It just does nothing. Weird.
I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.
I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.
I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.

Are u using sweep to wake?, that sometimes causes this problem
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.
Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.
I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.
Any other things I could try?
Never had this problem with the HOX.
Only with Xperia Arc and X10 when a heavy task ran in the background

Hi, I was wondering what did you do regarding the lockscreen problem. I'm having exactly the same problem here. I've already done a factory reset but it did not solve the issue. From time to time I'm not able to unlock the phone.
Please HELP!!!
It sometimes happens to me, recently after clearing the clock and weather apps and widgets. I don't know what it is.
I don't know if maybe my power button is messed up or not, but I just flashed JB the other day on my GSM Nexus and I've noticed every so often when the phone is locked I'll go to pull it out and sometime the screen doesn't come on first press of the power button. Sometimes it will take 2 or 3 presses. The screen comes on and nothing seems laggy. Never have any problem pushing power button to turn screen off and lock phone. Anyone else had this?
yup happens to me all the time actually
Nope I'm not having that problem in 4.1. It just works.
Maybe you changed the governor of your CPU? I'm using 4.1 since the day after it got introduced in Google I/O.
Seems to be better after a reboot. I'm using the stock kernel right now.
I sometimes (1 out of 20 times) have problem with the power button to wake up the screen, it only happens once a while, so I press the button, nothing happened, and I press another time, then it woke.
I personally thought it is a software issue rather than hardware. Do you guys have similar experience.
Yep, all the time.
Same thing for me.

I also have the same issue but its rare.
thank god, then I should not panic about my power button at all
Ditto. I posted this in the JellyBean general thread too.
This is one of many things wrong with JB. There's still microlag, the keyboard has taken a dramatic step backwards (missed autocorrections, randomly repeated letters and words!, and backspacing glitches galore; it did none of these things with ICS keyboard), and the aforementioned power button issue.
We really need 4.1.2 that addresses these issues.
Noticing this too.
I've noticed the power key thing two times. A second press woke the phone just fine.
No issues with keyboard here though.

Same here.
Happnes very regularly for me though... More times than not.
Me too

I noticed with mine that when I hit the power button and touched the screen where the sliders will be, I feel vibration. From there it will take another 4-5 hits to unlock and sometimes just time.

Lol same Here. The keyboard fails too lol
Never happened me before even if I press on power button very fast while the screen is on (screen goes off and on again).
I'm using swiftkeyx as my keyboard. So I feel fine for both.
Yep, happens every now and then to me too.
ya...happens once in a while...thought i was the only one though...
my phone started to do this a couple of days ago. (I was running JB) I went ahead and reset my phone back to stock ICS and the power button still needs to be pushed multiple times in order for the phone to wake up or turn off. I called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement phone.
It seems to be a general design issue with the power button. Because of the nature of that switch (it seems to rock a little) you have to press the button much harder if you press it on the ends. If you press it in the middle, the switch actuates essentially 100% of the time.
I'm having some issues with widgetlocker.
I have solved the problem with the home button bypassing the unlock screen, but now whenever I press the home button, it flashes black for a brief moment. The home button still functions regularly and goes to the main screen but flickers black.
Anyone else have this issue or have a fix?
I have already contacted the developer in hopes of a reply.
